"Li Siye, if you don't mind it, how about I write a preface to this "Datang Dictionary" and publish it in the newspaper for publicity?"
Seeing Ma Zhou go out, Li Gang put down his wine glass and took the opportunity to make suggestions to Li Zexuan.
This is what he wanted to talk to Li Zexuan today. He has a good reputation as a literati. Even though Li Gang resigned and went into seclusion for so long, he still couldn't help but want to face such an epoch-making masterpiece as "Dictionary of the Tang Dynasty" that will be passed down through the ages. Leave a trace of your own mark on it.
When Li Zexuan heard this, he smiled knowingly and said: "What did the old man say? If you are willing to write, I will be happy for you!"
As the teacher of the two princes, Li Gang was naturally very knowledgeable and had a very respectable social status. He was considered one of the old-fashioned scholars at the moment. Even Li Er had to pay three respects to him. Such a big man had to take the initiative to give "The Great Master" "Tang Dictionary" to promote, only a fool will not agree.
"Haha! You kid!"
Li Gang laughed heartily, pointed at Li Zexuan, and said:
"I heard that you studied in Longhu Mountain for eight years, but since you came back, Chang'an City has been particularly lively this year, with new tricks such as scooters, Quyuanli, "Datang Daily", Shenxianzui, Wenwenxiang and so on. One after another, there are things to eat, drink, play, use and see, it can be said that there are many kinds.”
"Although I am idle at home, I can still feel the changes outside. I have heard your story countless times. When I saw you today, I didn't expect you to be so young. You are really formidable~!"
Li Zexuan raised his hand and said humbly: "Thank you, sir!"
Li Gang said with a half-smile but not a smile: "Haha! I didn't praise you! I just want to ask, what did your master, Master Lingxu, teach you? How come you kid made so many weird things!"
Li Zexuan was speechless. He felt that the old man was deliberately entertaining him by talking so much!
"Oh, by the way, I recently heard from a friend that your boy was jointly impeached by eight doctors from the Imperial College. How is he doing now?"
Seeing Li Zexuan's depressed expression, Li Gang stopped joking and said seriously.
"Well, there's nothing wrong with His Majesty, but Kong Jijiu gave the boy a scolding!"
Li Zexuan thought for a while and said.
"Oh~? Why is this? Just tell me."
Li Gang asked with an interested expression.
Once people get older, they generally become more open-minded about personal gains and losses, but instead they become a bit gossipy. Specifically, they are almost like Li Gang, who has a very open-minded personality, but is particularly interested in other people's affairs. .
Li Zexuan had no choice but to briefly tell Li Gang what happened in the court and the Imperial Academy recently. Li Gang listened with great interest. After listening, he stroked his beard, shook his head and said:
"Zhongda (Kong Yingda, also known as Zhongda) is a sacrificial wine. It is understandable to do this, but it is a bit unhuman. Li Siye, even I have heard about some of the contributions you have made to the Imperial College since you joined the Mathematical Institute. , Zhongda’s behavior is a bit chilling! Next time I drink with him, I will help you talk to him. "
Li Zexuan was stunned. He did not expect that Li Gang's thoughts would be so open-minded and would look at this issue from a completely fair perspective. It was indeed rare.
"Haha, thank you for your kindness, old gentleman! But that doesn't have to be the case! I already resigned from Your Majesty yesterday and will never hold the position of Siye again in the future!"
To be honest, if Kong Yingda could be like Li Gang at the beginning, even if there was a backstabbing villain like Cui Shanyou in the Imperial College, Li Zexuan would still be willing to stay and lead the entire Imperial College to a new life. But the reality is that there is no such thing. Now he is determined to set up his own business. There is no point in saying this anymore.
"What~?"
Li Gang's eyes widened, he exclaimed in disbelief, and then said with some sadness:
"Confused! Confused! How could you give up on your students just because of a momentary conflict of temper? Don't you intend to continue to pass on the knowledge your master taught you?"
............................
"General Yuchi, his subordinates led people to inspect the homes of the eight victims yesterday and found that almost all of them were waiters' feces. Moreover, according to the descriptions of the servants of these houses, the feces should have been removed before 9 o'clock in the morning. That At that time, everyone was still dreaming!”
On the east side of the palace, on the right side is Wuhou Weifu.
Brother Ji bowed and handed over a page of files and reported the report.
"Hmm~! Then did you lead people to ambush and arrest people in those places this morning?"
Yuchi Jingde sat upright and did not take the file. He just glanced at it casually and then asked roughly.
"Back to... General, my subordinates led people to ambush near the homes of the eight doctors at 5:00 this morning. As a result... As a result, they didn't find anything strange until dawn! I estimate that they should... .Probably won’t come again!”
Brother Ji felt extremely stressed. He didn't know if Yuchi Jingde would punish him for doing something bad. Sweat broke out on his forehead nervously.
"Huh~!"
I don't know if there was an auditory hallucination, but Brother Ji vaguely heard a sound of exhalation, and heard Yuchi Jingde say: "Hmm~! Then have you visited every house nearby and asked if there are any children? Did you come out and poop in front of Dr. Cui and others’ home two days ago?”
"Back to the general, my subordinates have checked, but basically every household has confirmed that their children have never gone out in the early morning!"
Brother Ji was well prepared and quickly answered.
Li Zexuan has allocated a lot of "activity funds" this time. In the neighborhood where the Eight Doctors live, almost all families with children are employed by Li Zexuan. At this time, how can anyone jump out and confess!
The atmosphere in the hall became very depressing for a moment. Just when Brother Ji thought that he would definitely be punished this time and was muttering to himself that Ma Zhou's previous analysis was too deceptive, Yuchi Jingde finally spoke:
"Hmm~! In that case, let this case be settled like this! You go and file the files, and go to notify the eight great doctors and tell them Wu Houwei's investigation results. It's not that we don't help them investigate, it's that the murderer is too cunning. , Never show up again! There are many other things to do in Wuhou Mansion, we can’t spend all our time on this!”
When Brother Ji heard this, he was instantly surprised and said quickly: "Yes! General!"
After that, he was ready to go to the archives of Wuhou Mansion.
"Wait!"
Yuchi Jingde shouted.
"General, do you have any other orders~?"
"You did a great job this time! Okay, go down!"
Yuchi Jingde glanced at Brother Ji and said meaningfully and tacitly.
"promise!"
Brother Ji almost jumped up with excitement and quickly backed out!
"It seems that Manager Ma's analysis is good! General Yuchi sent me to investigate the case, and it turned out to be just a formality! Manager Ma is amazing! I must treat him to a big meal this time and repay him well!"
Brother Ji admired silently in his heart.
